And what is the reason for so many different indexes ?

There are literally thousands. The indexes allow for an individual or an institution to track a group as a whole.

There is an index from the financials to the transports.
There is and index of the Dow to the FTSE (London).

These simply allow investors to gauge how that the markets and sectors are performing as a group compared to individual companies.
